Never Been Kissed [Blu-ray]

fun lighthearted movie

A blast from the past! Our friend never watched it and wanted to. We all watched it together. We are such nerds....still laughed, cried and loved it.

Such a fun classic!

The more I watch "Never Been Kissed" the cuter it becomes (thanks to Drew Barrymore). It's billed as an 80's movie and I guess in a way it kinda is. It's definitely a romantic comedy and I believe it is somewhat set in the 80's, but it does have some awesome 80's music. Anyway, the storyline is really cute and I loved Gary Marshall as the not so nice manager who gives Josie Geller the undercover job. I really wish Hollywood would stop casting Molly Shannon as the friend (only because I cannot stand her), but it works either way. It's not a hilarious movie, but it has some funny moments and I really liked David Arquette as Josie's brother who is set on becoming a big baseball star. And the ending is just oh so swoon worthy.... like all 80's but not really 80's movies should be!

Me sentí contenta de poderla ver otra vez

A delightful 1999 Drew movie. She produced it (Flower Films) and starred in it. As a brilliant college graduate and copy editor for the Chicago Sun-Times, Drew (Josie Geller) is sent on her first assignment as a reporter. Her new adventure at age twenty five, takes her as an undercover investigator back to her old high school to find out what goes on and what has changed. Actually, just like nearly ten years before, Drew has her hands full just trying to fit in. Navigating the social lessons are still formidable. Cliques, mean people, show off's, and rejection, give Drew a little trouble passing herself off as seventeen and as an english major in college, she quickly gets boos and hisses in literature class. Through some tense moments, new friends, twists of fate and the curse of falling in love with her English teacher, Drew finds herself as the Prom Queen at school and nearly fired at work. However with a clever plot, love, and Drew's world class acting, the chaos has a tearfully funny and happy ending.All in all, it is a middle-of-road movie. Setting, photography, cast and script about three stars. Drew Barrymore, the usual five stars. It has been said that when the director calls for action, drew just begins speaking, and the crew wonders if she heard the call. She did. Drews devastating childhood, two decades of experience, five generations of Barrymore talent, her personal charisma and irresistible charm, determined will to survive and reach stardom is the more compelling of these two stories. Drew can carry any movie and it is always a joy to see her work.

Questo film avrebbe tutte le carte in regola per essere la solita commedia americana, ma inspiegabilmente ogni volta che appare alla tv tutta la mia famiglia non riesce a distogliere lo sguardo da questo incantevole film. Sicuramente la trama e la sceneggiatura sono i capisaldi di questo film, ma a mio avviso non sarebbe stato lo stesso senza Drew Barrymore come protagonista. Una commedia che unisce il dolce e l'amore, che fa riflettere molto sulla vita dei più giovani all'interno delle scuole e del cambiamento repentino di vita degli studenti appena escano da quel guscio che pare il loro regno; in pratica uno spaccato di vita prettamente americano, ma che sotto molti aspetti può riguardare anche la vita dei giovani di tutto il mondo

Ich mag Drew Berrymore, der Grund warum ich zu diesem Film gegriffen hatte. Ihre Stärke bei romantischen Filmen war mir bekannt und ich war gespannt, was sie mir mit "Ungeküsst" servieren würde.Story: Josie (Drew Berrymore) ist Lektorin bei einer Zeitung. Das Leben ist geordnet und reichlich langweilig. Ihre allgemeine Lebenseinstellung ist eher bieder und spießig. Sie ist ein Loser und Langeweiler. Der große Traum ist, einmal Journalistin werden und wirkliche Fälle beschreiben, nicht nur die Rechtschreibfehler überprüfen. Die Gelegenheit bekommt Josie, als der Boss beschließt die junge Frau in eine Highschool einzuschleußen. Keiner traut ihr das zu, doch Josie will es machen. Ihr Bruder Rob (David Arquett) ist ganz anders als seine ältere Schwester. Er war immer der coole und der Draufgänger. Doch helfen will sich die Ältere nicht. Also reitet Josie auf der Highschool auf. Dort trifft sie dann alles, was einem so in der Schule passieren kann. Die Mädchen, die einen nicht leiden können. Der tolle Junge, auf den man selbst schrecklich steht und der einen ignoriert. Und natürlich der süße Lehrer, für den man schwärmen könnte, wenn man die Augen aufmachen würde. Leider läuft es für Josie überhaupt nicht so, wie es soll. Denn die coole Mädchenclique will nichts von ihr wissen und auch der gutaussehende Junge, der sie schrecklich an ihre erste große Liebe erinnert, lässt sie links liegen. Die einzigen, die sich für Josie interessieren sind die Streberin Aldys (Molly Shannon) und der attraktive Englisch- Lehrer Sam Coulson (Michael Vantain). Auch das zweite Mal Highschool wird für Josie zu einer Fahr in die Hölle. Bis sich plötzlich Rob auf der Schule blicken lässt ...!"Ungeküsst" ist ein süßer, traumhafter Film in den man sich verlieben muss. Mitfühlend und zärtlich erzählt mit einer tollen Drew Berrymore als uncoole und ätzende Josie, die dann zu einem wahren Schwan wird. Auch ist Michael Vantain (bekannt aus "Alias") nicht zu verachten. Schule hätte mit solchen Lehrern doch gleicht mehr Spaß gemacht. Auch David Arquette (bekannt aus "Scream 3" und Ehemann von Friends- Star Courtney Cox) liefert eine super Nummer als Josis Jüngerer Bruder Rob ab. Der will nur Baseball spielen und sieht in der Highschool seine Chance. So hilft er nicht nur seiner Schwester, sondern auch sich selbst. Die liebevolle und zum Mitfühlen anregende Geschichte wurde großartig erzählt und schön in Szene gesetzt.Fazit: Wer sich gerne süße Filme mit einem garantierten Happy- End ansieht, sollte "Ungeküsst" auf keinen Fall verpassen. Ansehen lohnt sich.

First of all I have to disagree whole-heartedly with the 'official' review of this film. Never Been Kissed is a wonderful, feel-good movie that will leave you with a huge smile on your face long after it's ended.I'm not a 'teen' and I still enjoyed it thoroughly. Drew Barrymore is great and totally believeable as the nerd who is an ugly duckling on the outside but a swan on the inside, who returns to school for an undercover job as a reporter, where she ultimately finds herself.When I saw this at the pictures, the whole audience was totally absorbed by the film and vocally sympathised with Josie's humiliating flashbacks and laughed out loud at her charming awkwardness.David Arquette as her 'cool' and 'popular' brother was inspired casting and Michael Vartan as the teacher she falls for plays his part perfectly.These three actors alone make the film well worthwhile. Watch it and see.

Love this movie. Not a huge fan of Drew but Michael Vartan makes up for it. The big grand gesture always makes me cry & smile at the same time.

Adoro, adoro e adoro!Io amo questo film! Ormai non tengo più il conto delle volte che l’ho visto, ma lo amo talmente tanto, che non ho potuto non comprare il dvd per aggiungerlo alla mia collezione. Il disco si vede e si sente benissimo.
